The Sept. 12 interview will air from 8-9:15 p.m., followed by a 45-minute show promoting the rest of the season. The network's regular programming will begin the next night with "90210" at 8 p.m., followed by the new Sarah Michelle Gellar drama "Ringer" at 9.

The special will feature Lady Gaga meeting with designer Jean Paul Gaultier at his atelier in Paris to talk about her relationship with fans, her control over her image, and her deliberate provocations. It is produced by Dak Tirak and distributed by Can't Stop media.

The CW announced the air dates at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.
